Understanding Hoarding Disorder
Hoarding is when someone collects a lot of stuff, even if it's not valuable, and finds it hard to throw things away because they feel like they need to keep them. This can cause problems like stress, money issues, legal troubles, and health risks for the person with the disorder and those trying to help.
Initial Hoarding
To figure out how serious hoarding is, we use different levels. One common way is a scale with five levels:
Level 1 - Minimal Hoarding:
At this level, the living space is mostly clutter-free, and the person can manage without big problems. The home is clean and safe, with only a few spots starting to get messy. There's no immediate sign of hoarding behavior.
Level 2 - Mild Hoarding:
There's more clutter and disorganization. Some areas might be hard to get to, but overall, the living conditions are still okay. Signs of not keeping the house clean, like bad smells or too much dust, might show up. There could be too many pets or pets not taken care of, and some safety issues may start.
Problematic Hoarding
Level 3 - Moderate Hoarding:
Clutter gets worse, and some areas or rooms are blocked. Important things like the stove or fridge might not work, and there might be damage to the home. Foul smells, bugs, or mold could be a problem, and it becomes tough to move around. Sanitation problems become more serious.
Level 4 - Severe Hoarding:
In a Level 4 situation, there's a ton of clutter, and most areas are hard to reach. There could be gross things like rotting food or animal waste. Utilities like water or electricity might be turned off, and the home might be badly damaged. The risks to health and safety are big, and professionals need to step in.
Level 5 - Extreme Hoarding:
This is the most serious level. The living space is totally taken over by clutter, almost impossible to live in. There might be visible human waste or dead animals. The home's structure is often falling apart, and there's a high risk of fire, injury, or illness. Immediate professional help is needed to fix the situation and make it safe to live there.
Remember, these levels are just general ideas, and every hoarding situation is different. Trained professionals need to assess and help to deal with hoarding in a safe and effective way.
Eliminating Hidden Biological Dangers Underneath Clutter
Severe accumulation frequently conceals broken structural plumbing, toxic black mold colonies, animal waste, and rotting food products. As materials break down, dangerous airborne pathogens and volatile allergens fill the property, creating severe health risks for anyone living inside. Our technicians utilize professional PPE, commercial HEPA air filtration systems, and hospital-grade sanitizers to decontaminate structural flooring, walls, and cabinetry once the excess clutter is responsibly removed.

What Do People Say About Us?
Outstanding
Outstanding company. I never thought I would be in need of their services, but recently I found myself in a dire situation with a loved ones’ home and they were able to send a team out within a couple days. Cassie, Miguel and Xander were amazing. Cassie helped me get the kitchen looking brand new, and both Miguel and Xander were able to get the Master bath and bedroom under control. I am so glad this company exists because I had no idea where to start or what to do.

Godsend
What a godsend! After failing health at 72, I could no longer keep up with housework which became detrimental to my health. Social Services connected me with T.A.C.T 48. David’s Angels (Bailey, Cheryl & Xander) changed my life in 2 days. They were so compassionate & hard working! I didn’t know where to even begin before this & now it’s become so much more manageable & healthy. Highly recommended!
